    How about this for a pain in the bottom... I've searched all the papers on my desk, all the ones in the course magazine holder, all the ones on my bookcase, I take the papers from the desk into the kitchen and literally move 2 things that are stapled together and spot the mid-blue (think everton FC kit) paper somehow sandwiched between sheets of white paper that are stapled together? :confused: Huh? I have no idea how it managed to get there, but I carried on sorting the pile out and I've filed away the bits I've finished with, and recycled some other bits I don't need, ripping them in half so they're GONE. I also now have 2 seperate folders for this assignment - 1 is the actual questions and the stuff I need to answer the one that I'm currently working on, and another is all the resources like the reference sheet Ive been looking for :rotfl::rotfl:

    Time for the school run - I'm hoping to declutter an Avon order thats been here since March to the person who it belongs too while I'm there :rotfl::rotfl: :wave:

    PPI Party Pooper
    Not had a chance to do any flying, i'm studying hard at the moment. Once my exams are over (next friday) i'm going to blitz my hovel.

    I gather from the last few posts that piggers and toots are MIA, hope everything is ok. Big hugs to the 2 of you and anyone else who needs one.

    Haven't managed to do anything today apart from two wash loads. I did go to town to a) put in DD2's passport application and b) pick up my new glasses. Then I decided that I would take DD2 on the steam train to Castletown, have a few minutes in the park then get the train back (they're only every two hours) which she enjoyed. She met a little girl in the park and played with her - it's lovely the way little children immediately get on.

    Must go and start dinner. Luckily no activities on this evening so I won't have to rush.

    That is so kind of you to lighten the load Soappie - I'll work hard to get a star from you - now I'm sure you can be trusted not to award yourself extra stars :rotfl:

    Piggers is online so at least her fingers are still working - hope you are ok hunny bunny.

    Toots I'm really worried about you now you've been gone for 24 hours I so hope you are ok xx

    It wasn't I but looking at the list that's up, I guess those who did my living room list today have already done tomorrow. So tomorrow we do today - IYSWIM :D

    Just took the dog out for a quick walk the v. long way round to the post box. It's like the south of France out there! A really warm wind with some cloud building. Wouldn't surprise me if we had a storm later.
